VIEWER ADVICE: This video includes discussion of suicide, sexual assault and other traumatic issues. It also contains coarse language and references to illicit substances.
Local Melbourne rapper, Johnathan Binge aka 'Caution' credits making hip hop music with giving him the resilience to flourish in spite of a difficult childhood.
While moving between foster homes following the death of his mother, and in times living in state-run residential — Johnathan says he was only exposed to violence and crime and felt little hope for his future. Hip hop, however, provide a platform for change.
